"I was 52 years old and in a transition from selling my own business, which I had run for many years, to pursuing a new career path. I needed a stop-gap opportunity until my new career would economically support my family. That is when my son recommended I try ACT Personnel Service, Inc. I thought I was too old for ACT to find me a job, but I was wrong, and within no time I was working while developing my new career as a Pastor. ACT is a company, but a company is only as good as its employees, and ACT has some of the best. Thanks ACT."

"I was fortunate to have Yeny in my corner when I was looking for a new senior human resources opportunity. Yeny has a robust network in the DC area and was able to distribute my credentials effectively to key contacts inside companies throughout the DC metro area. She followed up on leads for potential opportunities and always kept me informed on the status of openings where I might be a fit. She presented pertinent jobs and was patient in talking through the pros and cons of each position. She truly cares about ensuring her candidates are happy and are making the best choice so the company and candidate have the right fit. She has a real knack for building and maintaining meaningful relationships with her candidates. Yeny is professional, personable, trustworthy and an expert recruiter who represents her candidates with pride."

"ACT Personnel helped me in a rough time. I was new to the area and had a hard time finding a position. Soon after registering with ACT, I got an interview with a prestigious company. After a short period of time that company hired me on and I am still employed there full-time. Whenever I'm asked, I always tell people about my great experience with ACT."

"My experience working with ACT Personnel was very rewarding. I worked with ACT for three years during which time I found them professional and friendly. I not only was hired by the client but the 401k accumulated a significant amount which was quite a benefit."

"As an employee of ACT Personnel Service, both in the field and on staff, I have been provided many challenging assignments over the past 10 years. I have learned numerous skills and specialties in a vast array of industries, been named Temp of the Year in 1996, and have really felt like part of a winning team."

"I have been a temporary worker for about two years now. I have generally been employed as a general laborer and as a factory worker. If it wasn't for ACT, I wouldn't have a job today because of my inability to read well. But, I am learning every day. My self-esteem is getting better because of the opportunities offered to me through ACT. I would really like other people to recognize the value of both ACT workers and ACT services."

"My association with ACT Personnel Service, Inc. during the last couple of years has been very UP BEAT.

Because of company restructuring, I was laid off from my job. I immediately went to ACT Personnel for help. They were very understanding to my needs. Through them I have worked as a temp at a bank and a hospital.

Presently, I am going to be trained and later hired to work for the National Park Services in the capacity of Reservation Specialist. Because of my background of having worked for the Visitor's Bureau I am very much looking forward to the challenge.

Due to my circumstances, I have had to draw on my Social Security earlier than I had anticipated. This is not enough for me to live on so I have to work to compensate for my livelihood. ACT Personnel is doing a good job to help me out.

My best wishes to them for continued success in our Tri-State Area. They are doing a FANTASTIC job. Let's hope that the next ten years are as successful as the first."

"When I first moved to this area, I needed to find a job. Being new to the community, I wasn't quite sure how to go about it.

After pursuing the usual route of reading newspaper ads and sending out resumes with no success I realized I needed some help. I contacted ACT Personnel and it wasn't too much later that I had a temporary position in data entry for a major appliance and video retail store. Upon completion of that temporary assignment I was asked to join the company and ultimately became their Administrative Supervisor.

Five years later I am a victim of downsizing and need to find a new position. ACT Personnel was the first place I turned, knowing that they have the contacts and expertise to find permanent and/or temporary placement until I find the perfect position for my talents.

Thank you, ACT Personnel for helping and supporting me through the difficult task of job hunting. I have confidence that I will soon find a mutually beneficial position with a company I choose."

"I chose temporary work due to the short time that I will be here in Cumberland. Also, I like the flexibility of temporary work and variety of jobs available!"

"I opted for temporary placement because it will offer me an opportunity to gain employment experience and increase my skills. I hope that a temporary position will help me get the experience that will enable me to join the workforce full time. This will also give me the chance to consider other career opportunities. Thank you for this opportunity."

"I joined ACT in 1995 looking for a job. I never called them to see if they had work. In the meantime, I kept trying to get on at Rocky Gap.

I kept calling Brian at Rocky Gap and he told me he could not doing anything until April. I called him every week.

Then I saw a picture of a man working at Rocky Gap. I called Brian again. He told me this man was hired through ACT. I told him I belong to ACT. He said you have a good day. One hour later I was called by ACT to go to work at Rocky Gap.

I worked with other people from ACT. By the end of October, Brian called Tony Fagan and myself into his office. He told Tony and myself we out of all the others were going to be hired full time. It was our hard work and dedication that got us hired. It was ACT that got me hired. It now has opened a lot more job opportunities at Rocky Gap. I have to credit ACT and be thankful to them for my job at Rocky Gap."

"The reason I first applied to ACT was to locate employment. ACT has provided me with a wide variety of jobs — factory, labor, landscape, utility, shipping/receiving — with pretty steady assignments. I'm looking forward to possible opportunities that may afford me a permanent job. ACT staff is friendly and accessible at any time you need them."

"Eight years ago I was in need of a temporary job for the summer. I had previously worked through ACT and knew they could help me find what I was looking for. An Administrative Assistant position had recently opened at the Allegany Arts Council, who turned to ACT to assist with finding a new employee. Sheri immediately contacted me, knowing it would be a wonderful fit for me given my interest in the arts and experience in office work.

After two months of working on a temporary basis, I was offered a full time position at the Arts Council. As I settled into my new job, I was honored to learn that ACT had chosen me as their Temporary Employee of the Year. I went from honored to completely amazed when I was also named the Maryland Staffing Association’s Temporary Employee of the Year!

I often say, “I don’t know where I’d be without ACT.” They have opened so many opportunities to me that may have otherwise passed me by. I’ve since been promoted to the position of Office Manager, and my job has blossomed into a variety of other opportunities I never expected. I am the regular arts columnist for Allegany magazine, and was invited to join the WFWM Advisory Council and the board of the Tri-State Community School for the Arts.

I’ve heard many wise people say that your work should be in harmony with your life, and as a musician at heart, I’m so thankful for a company like ACT that enabled me to work in an environment that fosters a love of the arts, not only in my own life, but also in our entire community."
